Muskegon school district seeks public input on millage vote

Muskegon school district seeks public input on millage vote
"Three public meetings have been scheduled by the Muskegon school district to discuss an upcoming millage vote.
The meetings this month and in early March are designed to inform voters about the plan to pay for $12.7 million in improvements by delaying a tax reduction."

Understand this. The school system says it's out of money.

Not because their total amount of money "IN" is decling. It's because the teacher's union members took all the maintenance money for themselves.

So now it's our fault. Our wallets that must be emptied.

Everyone else and every tax paying business is cutting back. But schools continue to expand, spend and figure new ways to spend.

Oh yeah, the teachers always get their COL and step-up in pay every year.

But the rest of us gotta tighten our belts so the teacher's union members can loosen theirs.
